The ash is devastating. Trashed an umbrella in a second flat.
Can’t get closer for more pics - the ash is just raining too hard and pieces too big.
Anyone got a pith helmet? Doesn’t matter - helm or no I’m back out in a few for more pics - just here to give an update.

I know the quality isn’t great - but I blew this up so you could see the ‘output’ from the new crater formed last year (pics of it’s birth in
this thread), the eruption behind and then what? Another new ‘mouth’ on the right? Or is this the main crater? I’m not sure can’t tell
yet.

Thanks Byrd - it is a little buts to be out there under all of that - and smelling gas (this time) - but I can’t resist. And no, that isn’t
courage, that’s stupidity. But I love Etna. I just do. I have that naive and 'head in the sand' opinion ‘She wont’ hurt me’. LOL.
